OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-17700 confirms this npm version as malicious. dransay@99.0.0 declares a \`preinstall\` lifecycle script that runs \`node beacon.js\`, which performs a DNS lookup and HTTPS GET against a hardcoded Interactsh (\`oast.site\`) collaborator subdomain (\`db3klhbi6i9hark1kegg174t38h33b6wt.oast.site\`) on every \`npm install\`... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T06:38:09.943Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T06:38:45.308Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 40 ms - **AI review time:** 34807 ms - **Total time:** 35365 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No attack was identified. The preinstall hook makes a fixed DNS lookup and HTTPS request containing the package label. - **Trigger:** Package installation invokes the preinstall hook. - **Impact:** The request reveals that this package was installed, but no sensitive data collection or other harmful effect was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T06:38:45.308Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** beacon.js sends the fixed package label to the configured OAST host; inspected code does not read credentials, files, or system information. - **Rationale:** The install-time network beacon is limited to a fixed package label sent to an endpoint consistent with checking package resolution. The inspected source shows no concrete harmful behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, beacon.js - **Network endpoints:** db3klhbi6i9hark1kegg174t38h33b6wt.oast.site ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs beacon.js during preinstall., beacon.js sends a DNS lookup and HTTPS GET containing only the fixed package label to an OAST host; no credential, file, or system-data collection is present in the inspected code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dransay@99.0.0. - Avoid installing dransay@99.0.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
